G: Your mom is going to be impressed at the food we bring back.
J: I can't belive we made it in time for Megan's wedding!
A: Well, those people in Danbury were great. We got lucky that the butcher had a delivery to Port Morrison!
J: We were amazing at thinking on your feet when we missed the last ferry.
A: If the only way to the island was by boat, why not ask a fisherman for a ride?

(Randy): "Good morning, Kristina!"/ (Kristina): "I've never seen you in this coffee shop so early before."
(Randy): "I just got back from the gym to get the blood pumping. I am also taking an online course every morning."
(Kristina): "Wow! You're really grabbing life by the horns."
(Randy): "Ever since I started forcing myself to get out of bed early, I've been looking forward to everything I've been missing."

G: Howard, how old is your mother? She seems so young compared to my mom./ H: She'll be 78 next month.
G: What's her secret for staying so youthful? I mean, she doesn't move the way we typically think an old person moves.
H: She exercises evry day. She mainly focuses on mobility and flexibility, and a little bit on strength.
G: Tell me all her secrets so I can tell my mom./ H: The most important thing is for her to pace herself if she hasn't exercised in a while.
O: Did you get the memo about the dress code? They've decided to make it more strict.
J: Well, if we want to be taken seriously by our clients, we should dress better.
O: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But after the pandemic, everyone got used to dressing casually.
J: Honestly, I'm excited to get my suits out of the closet again. You know the saying,"The clothes make the man.
O: And the woman!/ J: Right and that's why I think it was a mistake to do away with the dress code anyway.
You may have heard the saying that "sitting is the new smoking." But how bad for your health is sitting? An Australian study researched just how much time we should aim for when it comes to sitting, standing, exercising and sleeping. If you want to avoid an early grave, you should sit no more than six hours a day.
Most people sit closer to nine hours a day. As for exercise, ranging from light to vigorous, we should try to get close to four-and-a -half hours of combined physical activity. And if that much exercise is difficult, we should all try to stand up once an hour.
